I've always thought that the addition of some kind of "Slightly Fatter Device" with built-in SB, SC and ripping capability would be a great idea. Make it easy to add music on external storage and integrate iTunes and you could potentially open up a whole new market. The requirement to have a separate PC is still a considerable barrier to entry for many. -- dSw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dSw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=362 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43491 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
